Guess it's old news, but someone hacked a Jeep Grand Cherokee and took control
of the steering and drove it into a ditch.

All this tech stuff in cars is cool but the cost of maintaining it after the
vehicle is out of warranty will be cost prohibitive.

I'll stick with my old 1988 Chrysler LeBaron that still runs and drives
great.. They don't make em like they used to.. LOL!
